I didn't love it by any measure, great looking in terms of the effects to be sure, but nothing made it stand out beyond being just good enough entertainment. <br /><br />Sethi - 2(His performance I found to be actually rather awkward and stilted)<br /><br />Murray - 3.5(Despite his lack of singing ability perfectly cast otherwise. Brings exactly what you want from Baloo a nice bit of humor and just a real warmth.)<br /><br />Kingsley - 3.5(Perfectly cast as well. His Bagheera has that regal command needed for the role, while also having just the right understated care beneath it all)<br /><br />Elba - 3.5(A more vicious take than the purring Sanders. A good performance that certainly brought an added bit of menace to the role.)<br /><br />Nyong'o - 3(Nice heartfelt performance.)<br /><br />Walken - 2.5(Miscast I felt. I prefer when he's not used for his Walkenisms and is actually used for his considerable acting ability. This was a case of the former.)<br /><br />Johansson - 3(Brief but does a creepy seductive voice rather well.)Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-6460229943212652562017-01-24T20:41:44.773-05:002017-01-24T20:41:44.773-05:00BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY:

The proverbial "final staredown" between Bridges and Pine, and it is ENTIRELY from Bridges's POV. His character is the one who truly evolves throughout the film, even more than Toby does.

I dunno if I'm going to write a "Manchester" review; I rarely feel myself motivated to write a whole lot of in-depth film reviews these days (case in point, I've done maybe a good half-dozen since January of last year). I think I'd prefer to have discussion rather than just write several paragraphs of my own thoughts that I cringe to read after the fact.<br /><br />I will say that if "Manchester" had gotten an editing nomination, I'd consider it one of the worst of all time in that category. A good third of that film, if not more, could've been trimmed. Lonergan (who made one of my ten least favorite films of all time in "Margaret") needs to learn to kill his darlings.Psifoniannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-62407222606147577442017-01-24T20:04:00.666-05:002017-01-24T20:04:00.666-05:00Robert: I felt like there was much more to him tha...Robert: I felt like there was much more to him than just being a psycho.

Hedges veered from affecting to affectation so often that it was crazy, and Shannon was like a third-rate SNL skit portrayal of Bridges's more nuanced, realized work.Psifoniannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-61819220007433792372017-01-24T19:08:04.055-05:002017-01-24T19:08:04.055-05:00My predictions:

Patel<br /><br />For Affleck's performance, I also think he's really showing too little of expression on his face, but really not in that bad way. Watching the movie, especially after knowing his haunted past, I really feel for him and his reaction, after all the pain and sins he had to endured from all those time. Even just a moment of silience and stunning on the screen, I can still feel it through his eyes. I will definitely call this is a great example of how truly could an actor understand his character.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02520688615374880156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-74423042565046332982017-01-24T18:09:58.473-05:002017-01-24T18:09:58.473-05:00Calvin: I sent you a message on your blog =)
